·I didn’t know that. Omega never told me they have this policy because they don’t , most watches of all brands except for certain models cost less the moment you walk out
PP AD's don't just give people a full refund as a matter of course, a used strap, and some sighs of wear, no problem sir, here's your £40k as a full refund.

·Just keep an eye out for those strange men in dark glasses close to the homestead, they'll be 'watching' you 😁
I know it's hot weather right now, but there's a lot a sh!te getting spoken these days on this fine forum.

·Just got a good scare while polishing what I thought to be scratches on the moonshine bezel at 12 o'clock under the rim and it isn't even 1 day old. Turns out at closer inspection with the loupe it just inscribed markings with the omega logo and material code.

·What happened to this thread? Maybe all of you discussing flipping and trading watches and whether taxes are owed could start your own thread so those of us who want to actually discuss watches don't have to wade through your piddle. 🙄

·Man, these threads are certainly open to being hijacked....51 pages in to about 'Apollo 11 watches in the wild' and we are talking tax issues in the UK and beyond. Blah.....and boring.
Omega Switzerland does not have a handle or control on their worldwide distributors, agents, OBs and ADs.....each marketing area has their own way of doing things.....some areas required 0% deposit and some of those people already have the watch, others, like the US, required 100% payment and most don't have their watches or any indication when they may get them. That's just the way the system works, could Omega do better, absolutely. They could have, should have, had all of these watches completed and ready to go in the June/July period, it's not like this snuck up on them. But as I've said previously, Omega does not have an Eisenhower-type Supreme Commander that could have organized this relatively minor number of watches (1% of annual production) to be done on time. It is what it is. I just hope this distribution thing doesn't slide into next year, or leave a bunch of paid orders hanging in mid-air.

I think that we have been told off, does that mean we are all in the doghouse?

Nice watch, I have to say I am gutted that I didn't get on the list, I wonder if my OB will have a spare at the end, I'll ask tomorrow, maybe I can get on the ever hopeful reserve list
